made at home: apple juice & sauce

Apple Juice and Sauce

5 lbs of apples (about 12)

Cinnamon (optional, to taste)

Sugar (optional, to taste)

Water

(First Step) Juice: Start with coring and slicing all of the apples. After finishing, place the apples into a large pot and cover with water (until just covered, the less water the better). Boil the apple slices for 25-30 minutes on the stove-top. After boiling, press the soft apples through a filter into a large bowl. Can add cinnamon and sugar for optional sweetness. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

(Second Step) Sauce: After preparing the juice, take the remainders of the pressed apples and place into a bowl. Remove the skins of the apple pieces and place into a blender. Add sugar and cinnamon to taste and refrigerate for up to one week.

I had thoughts about placing this recipe on my blog, because everyone knows how to make simple juices and applesauce, but I am always looking for recipes that create two dishes within them. I mean, maybe I just never thought about making juice and sauce out of the leftovers and everyone else already does that?! I hope this is some new information. With the fall session right ahead, I would suggest using this recipe to get the fullest of your apples and have a delicious afternoon snack. It's a great feeling when you use everything you are cooking with.

I've made applesauce before and never even thought to make juice too - I bet it's soooo much better than that icky store bought stuff. I'm definitely going to try this when apple season comes around :-)

I just adore how you post so many yummy recipes on your blog. Definitely inspires me to experiment more with my own cooking!

This looks so tasty! I think it's great you posted this. I think that a lot of people don't realize how many delicious things they could be making from scratch, so it's always great to share and show people who easy such delicious things can be!
